Hi,
We have recently had an ABS pump failure on our 2012 Fiat Ducato motorhome. We have had our pump removed and tested, and it is unrepairable. I see we have two options:
1) We take it to the dealers and get a new one fitted, approx cost £3700....
2) We get a second hand unit.
Now looking into the second hand unit option a bit further, and it appears this is not so straight forward. Matching part number appears to be critical as the eprom/erroms cant be reflashed? Is this true?
We have found a second hand ABS pump, with identical numbers, apart from one at the top of the plastic casing. I am trying to find out if this is significant. However, I am looking for advice about what is required to get it coded into the vehicle. I understand that it will require Proxy Alignment, but is there anything else I need to be aware of such as speedo calibration or vehicle wheel base or VIN number etc, or is there a risk it just wont be compatible??
I am new to this, and dont want to throw good money after bad by continuing down the second hand unit route only to find it will not work. I do not want to pay the main dealer prices, but if this is my only option then so be it.
I will be eternally grateful if some knowledgeable person could help here.
Many thanks in advance
